Dear Editor:

I write in response to the Legislative Column, "What Makes Something A Nursing Activity or Task". Perhaps, we should consider that nursing activities have potential consequences attached that only nurses can handle. I always operate under the "philosophy" that if I know what the consequences of my actions are and I am licensed to handle them, then it is probably a nursing function. Just a thought. What do you think?
